Quinton "Rampage" Jackson rips into UFC commentator Joe Rogan
Posted on February 20, 2012, 04:55 PM by Trent ReinsmithIf Quinton “Rampage” Jackson defeats Ryan Bader at UFC 144 the post-fight interview with Joe Rogan may prove to be a bit uncomfortable as Jackson does not to be too big of a fan of the UFC commentator.
Jackson recently spoke to Fighters Only about his upcoming fight against Ryan Bader on Saturday, February 25. Other topics Jackson discussed were his return to Japan and what would happen in a perfect world if he defeated Bader, which quickly led to Jackson offering his opinion on Joe Rogan.
Suffice it to say, Jackson does not think too favorably about Rogan. Wathc the video to hear everything Jackson has to say.

probably shouldnt talk with your hands when there in your pockets
They were moving around a lot in there....
I believe Joe is a good commentator 90% of the time. But I don't think it's his place to say how people can improve and what game plans they should use while commentating. He should just commentate on the fight, and what is happening as it happens. So I kind of agree with Rampage, it must be very frustrating to hear a guy that doesn't fight inside the Octagon tell all the viewers how the fighter could do it better.
hes clearly high lol hands in his pickets slurring his words all sleepy, reminds me of me after a smoke
Joe generally makes valid points on how certain fighters can improve their overall game, I guess Rampage can't accept valid criticism.
you're right tho.I don't think rogan has anything against him but he's been going at rogan since his last fight with j.jones.he thought the fight was closer that rogan made it sound.My only issue here is that the whole time he was scratching his balls
Rogan during the Jones fight was praising the shit outta Jones and saying how Rampage was pretty much out of Jones' league.
I would be pissed too. And Rogan complaining about leg kicks was dumb, of course someones not going to try to throw leg kicks against someone with vicious GnP.
But still think Joe is a good commentator. He makes fights better with his commentating.
mannnn Joe know alot on the sport but the guy has fighters he likes more and it shows some time and what he says sways ppl"s opinions cause ive had friends who watched fights where Joe will on the guy he favor just talk
about that punch and ths kick wow was a hard hit and not really say chit about the other fighter when he is doing good or checks the kick they other threw and in the last couple years like the Showgun/Lyoto fight
he made it sound like Shogun won no problem but was a really close fight...and its not like its happened a couple time.. if he like s a fight he will talk about how great he is and will highlight him more during the fight
Rampage's criticisms of Rogan are kind of stupid, it's his job to objectively attempt to provide commentary and analyze the fights. If he didn't do that it would be the same as someone going into the cage and refusing to fight as Rampage so likes to complain about after every match (even when Jones picks him apart then chokes him out). Rogan emphasizes jiu jitsu more because that's still a lot of the part of the game people don't understand. Ya he goes a little overboard but if you listen to him Rogan will actually acknowledge the most of the criticisms Rampage had.
We all know Rampage is just in it for the paycheck at this point and hearing him complain about everything gets tiring. The same things he complains about hold true for a lot of fighters but he's the only one you hear bringing them up in every interview. Rampage is still a beast but as Rogan likes to say, fighting ain't something you can only partially commit to, your hearts either in it or its not and if it isn't it's not worth risking your health over.
Rampage is always a interesting interview, and comes up with some funny lines but someone should have told him the camera was in a wide shot so he'd stop playing pocket pool.
Joe Rogan's voice can get annoying at times, but he knows his stuff and the dude has to talk about something for 4 plus hours each broadcast, so maybe cut him some slack.
LOL I love the end of the interview. Can't make that kind of stuff up
although i believe that joe is the best commentator out there he sometimes is very blatantly bias towards particular fighters. it is often comical when the fighter he is so obviously pulling for and talking up. suddenly starts to lose and rogan has to do a complete 180 while trying to find something constructive to say about the guy who 10 seconds ago was way out of his class. i like rogan but sometimes i wish he would just keep his personal opinions to himself and focus more on the fights.
I think Rampage takes things too personal sometimes. Its obvious that Rogans grudge is against Jons "comically thin" legs. It could have been a guy in a wheelchair fighting Jones and Rogan would have called for more leg kicks.
is he spanking his monkey?????? :)
Hehe he don't like ji-jitsu ,but he like to choke the one eyed snake???
Joe Rogan is probably the best commentator in the game.
For Rampage to get all personal after a flipant comment about leg kicks then thats pretty sad.
Rampage needs to work on taking criticism a bit better, oh, and throwing more leg kicks. lol
I believe Rampage Jackson should be more focused on Ryan Bader than Joe Rogan. Rogan isnt the one thats going to be trying to beat his face in.
